Hi,

You should communicate with your sponsor as often as it takes for you to understand and know the business.
You should communicate with your sponsor to find out what it is that they want you to duplicate.
You should also communicate with your sponsor when he/she asks you a question, asks you for suggestions or feedback.
Your sponsor would probably appreciate it if he/she asks a quesiton, and it is answered.
Your sponsor would more than likely appreciate any type of communication suggesting that you are interested in the business and progressing in the business.
Communication is not a one way street. Your sponsor needs as much feedback from you as information that they are giving you.
I personally would value and appreciate some feedback, suggestions, or any form of response from my team so that I would know that they are reading my mails at the very least.
In summary: Communicate with your sponsor as often as you need to to succeed in your business. Secondly, give your sponsor the feedback they require from you. Acronym for TEAM. Together Everyone Acieves More.

My answer would be as much as you need them in the beginning, and then throughout as your start learning and growing.
My experience with my Sponsor is great. As soon as I joined SFI and became a member, I immediately had a welcome email from my Sponsor. I was overwhelmed that somebody took the time to welcome me, so I immediately responded by replying to my Sponsors email.
I was overwhelmed with all the information and became so confused and lost with so much information and wherever I clicked on links, I would go into a different article and subject. More confusion.
I had never been on an online marketing program before.
Along came my Co-Sponsor who not only welcomed me, asked me if I had Skype. I replied I did, and he insisted on teaching me via Skype. We had a weekly Saturday morning Skype lessons. Not only did he guide me and lead me, he gave me so many tips.
I would often get chat messages too. My Sponsor would mail me often and my Co-Sponsor would chat with me. Not only did he chat, he would always send me the links referred to the articles, AND he would encourage me to go to a higher rank too.
I appreciate it that both my Sponsor and my Co-Sponsor did not give up on me, instead they increased the pace and the communication with me.
I became EA in my second month, followed by BTL in my third month.
I have learned to Duplicate my two wonderful Sponsors by doing exactly what I received from them. As soon as I notice that one of my team members are online, I don't miss the opportunity to chat on SFI, and at the same time, I will send out personal emails to my good workers. The sweetest thing that my team members don't mail me often, BUT they do reply . And when I issue instructions to them, I see that they work and they grow.
Bottom line, build a good relationship with your Sponsor, Co-Soonsor. Don't be shy to ask for help. They are there for you, they want to hear from you, and they are waiting to help you and guide you.
All the best to all.

Great question:

In my opinion, you should stay in contact at least once a week, even if just to say hello. After all, your SFI business relies on your participation, but you are also working with a Team that as you work together you can have awesome results. Always contact your Sponsor or Upline with any questions you may have. I have learned that most every answer is available in the SFI training materials, but finding it sometimes is a difficult task.

One thing that I feel is so very necessary is if you are a new Affiliate, you should respond back to any communication from your Sponsor. It is so disappointing to continue sending emails and never get a response. If you do communicate with your Sponsor and get no result then move to the next person in your Upline.

My Tip:
As your Team grows you will be communicating with several affiliates. If you are low on finances, try the email app, Yesware. You get 100 free emails and you can set up all your templates and just pop up the one you need. I love it. I set up five groups in my contacts: Active PSAs, Inactive PSAs, Active CSAs, and Inactive CSAs, and my Upline. It's a real time saver after it's set up.

I wish you great success with SFI/Tripleclicks.

As often as you need to in my opinion.

I think every sponsor would like to hear from their affiliate at some point. The sooner the better, as it opens up the lines of communication and allows your sponsor to give you the necessary guidance that you many require and build a friendship in the process.

There are so many times I have written to my team hoping that they will respond with even just a note to say 'Hi!'

So, yes, I feel that you should communicate with them whenever you need to and at times just to say hello if there is nothing pressing that you need help with.

Hope that helps.

For me I will communicate with my sponsor and my co-sponsor as often as I need their advice and some thing that I need clarifications. I always leave messages to them but unfortunately they did not answer me as soon as I need it. Consequently, I seek for other source of information to only two A2A friend (thanks for them) and the forum. I visit forum regularly so I can read whether I can find some question that is similar to my question and advice from knowledgeable upline affiliates.

We will not be dependent to our direct sponsor or co-sponsor because there are time also that they are not around and available. We can rely to some A2A friends, forum and SFI support sections.

Besides all we need is given to us by SFI. Hope this helps

Good question.
The answer lies in the accessibility of your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor.
Not everyone is a strong communicator.
Some are very adept at talking to perfect strangers without humility.
Others find it a little more difficult, but, manage fairly well with
tools and training.
And, then there is the rest of us who have to learn almost everything
up front to gain the confidence to openly communicate on a subject.

I think you will be able to able to assess your Sponsor's accessibility
by the way they communicate with you.
The methods they use. The demeanor in their messages.
And, by the invitations they should be addressing to you.

If your Sponsor or Co-Sponsor is open and sends you regular weekly Email updates.
Chances are they are very approachable.
I would suggest communicating, as often as necessary to get yourself up and running.
Ask the questions you need to ask.
Return the favor with a statement of appreciation or acknowledgement.
Do however, be sure to follow their advice (assuming it is good),
so they do not feel like your are wasting their time.
And, advise them of your results, for further guidance.

The ability to communicate efficiently is very important to anyone's success
in this business.
Tip: The best trick I know to get around embarrassment, shyness or feelings of inadequacy is to talk to everyone as if they were your friend.

The bottom line is you should be able to communicate with your Sponsor's
as often as necessary.
Never hesitate to try.

Since many sponsors are working with hundreds of affiliates you may try to reserve non urgent questions until you have 2-3 to ask.

I wouldn't be the person who goes to their sponsor on every question for sure. Where possible do your research, use the search box, forum, Ask SC, and Support FAQ's as much as possible so you can focus on what hasn't already been covered a hundred times over.

Where possible I urge teams to work together on Skype or other IM software so you can have that constant moral support and not feel like you are alone in this business. If possible I suggest sponsors put together not less than a weekly team meeting via Google Hangouts or Skype. The live contact is inspiring.

Thanks for a great question.

There is no certain number of times you should communicate with your Sponsor or/and your Co-Sponsor. While you are learning the basics, you will have many more questions than you will have after you have been in business for say a year or longer. Any time you have a question you can't find an answer for, contact your Sponsor or Co-Sponsor. That's the reason they are there.

Personally, I feel it is much more beneficial to an affiliate to attempt to find the answer themselves by searching the information provided by SFI.

Search SFI Basics

if you haven't gone through the LaunchPad, do so, if you have gone through it, go through it again.

Search the SFI Forum for the answer. A lot of great information and tips can be found here.

Use the great new feature located at the top right of the SFI Affiliate Center, the search box.

It seems like finding the answer on your own gives you a feeling of accomplishment and you will retain what you learn better. Just remember your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor are there for you and in the event you are not successful, don't hesitate to contact them. It's your business and you make the decisions on how you operate it.

I have read the answers given by other authors, and I agree with all of them: This should be dependent on your needs.

There is however another side to this too. As a Sponsor, it feels good when you receive an message from an Affiliate just to say "hello", or a message to thank him / her for their views or tips shared.

Sometimes an Affiliate share his own experiences and successes with me, and I can share this as an motivational tip eith the rest of the Team.

After all, we are one big family in SFI. Speak to your Sponsor / Co Sponsor as much as you like. Not only when you are faced with a challenge, but also when you have something to celebrate.

Hello Abraham,

This is a good question?

With contacting your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor you need to have some form of communication with both of them, if you have a question for them, then as long as you take into consideration that they will be communicating with their other Team members, you should ask them?
If one of your down line has a question you can't answer? Then hopefully your Sponsor or Co-Sponsor are at hand to give you an answer?

I used to talk to my Sponsor everyday, now its once in a blue moon, but I know if I need to ask advice it will always be there!

Communicate with them as often as you need to?!!!
But remember there are other ways of getting answers, there is a2a, the Ask SC, forum, support!

Just by reading something on SFI or TripleClicks everyday, you will soon have the answers you need.

Good luck.
See you at The Top!!!
